How individual lessons in a group are structured
If you want to learn Ballroom, Latin, or Salsa in Berlin, you do not have to wait until someone in your circle of friends agrees to join you. In a typical dance class in Berlin for singles, dance enthusiasts sign up specifically as individuals. The dance schools organize the lessons so that no one has to stand against the wall: through a fixed rotation principle, the couples switch around after a few bars of music or after every short practice sequence.
For beginners, this mode offers an enormous didactic advantage. Anyone who always dances with the same person gets used to their individual compensatory movements without noticing. Only through the constant change with different dance partners do you feel the difference between your own body tension and true leading or following. What often creeps in over months in closed couple courses becomes immediately noticeable and correctable when dancing without a fixed partner.
